EDUC 513 - Adolescent Development and Learning
Credits: 3
This course is designed to help education candidates explore the development of adolescents as they progress through the middle and high school years. The focus is on theory analysis, including middle school philosophy & organization, and understanding how dimensions of developmental growth affect classroom learning at these critical stages. Teacher candidates will apply theories from psychology, educational psychology, and neurophysiology (brain research) to classroom planning, teaching, and assessment. An additional focus will be on expanding teacher candidates’ understanding of their essential role in meeting the developing intellectual, social-emotional, and physical needs of young adolescents through young adulthood, including culturally diverse students. Emphasis is placed on teacher candidates’ examination of their personal belief systems and educational philosophy as they relate to the education of adolescents. This course, taken at the graduate level, requires additional readings and assignments.
